Technically it's a university I signed up for the 4 year course (which means that after 3 years I get my Bachelor's degree, and then go straight into the Master's degree) but I think after 3 years I'm going to attempt Cambridge again (for the Master's).

I use the two terms interchangeably, and never bothered to really distinguish them Care to?

Z: The completely innocent and perfect Giselle Gewelle, “The Zombie” – Appears dead but really isn’t because that would never, ever happen. Supposedly killed by Twelfth Squad Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi (who I may remind you is a psychopathic murderer who not only turned his own subordinates into living bombs and was locked in the most brutal of all Soul Society’s prison but also killed 28,000 innocent citizens of the Rukongai), but his/her death is currently unconfirmed and unlikely. Last seen being cruelly and unusually punished for having a bit of fun.

So C, M, N and X are the only ones remaining? Assuming that the two unknowns are counted in this list, that leaves 2 faces to see. I think X will be important, because it's such a ~cool letter~

That she is.

The X-Ray.

Spoiler:

Uhhh... Chapter felt sort of short. Guess I didn't really appreciate the first half of it. Was more interested in the current events at the palace.

So Ganju came... What happened to the other Furblingers?

And it's official. Senjumaru is now my second favorite character after Unohana 8D dat badassery
Though we still have three other Royal Guards who would most likely join the fight. I hope.

Somehow, I feel like this is going to end up like Naruto >.> Good guys come in, Ishida and Ichigo tag team to beat the crap out of Emperor Zangetsu, then beat each other up. Well, maybe not. Idk. we'll see.

It's a good thing Kusari made that list when he did - it came in very handy!

So W is dead... I'm not sure if that will be his final scene though. I expect him to come back for some reason.

Looks like Juha Bach has an "Elite 4". "X-Axis" lolwat

What even is "the compulsory" it all just looks like... black, to me.

With M, X, C and D all revealed properly, that only leaves N who is completely unknown.

Spoiler:- Spoiler because long and off topic:

I'll be honest, it's a bit of a flimsy definition but I can try (I think it's slightly different for US and UK) :
A University is where you apply to study for a Bachelors degree, a Masters degree, or a PhD. It's a place of research as well, so you'll get a lot of lecturers and professors who are researching and holding conferences and doing that kind of stuff.

A "college" can be a few different things. After you finish high school, but before you go to uni, you do A-levels for two years, which are usually at a college. Sometimes these colleges are on the same campus as a high school and share classrooms and teachers and stuff (like what I went to) and these are called "Sixth Forms". Another example of a college is where you might do a foundation degree (like my sister had to do before she went to uni, because she needed a foundation degree in arts and stuff) or other smaller types of qualifications (like HNDs or Diplomas and stuff).
Alternatively, a large university can be split up into smaller institutes called colleges. For example, Cambridge is made up of 31 colleges, and this is where you eat/sleep/socialise. All of the lecturing is done at the university in particular lecture rooms, so everyone on the same course gets all the same lectures and work. So I applied to "King's College, University of Cambridge" and got an offer from "Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge".

To make it a bit more complicated, there are some institutes which blur the lines a bit more. There's a collection of institutes called the "Universities of London" groups - some of which are "Queen Mary University of London" or "King's College London" or "Royal Holloway, University of London". These places are a bit more independent in terms of what they teach, their course content, and their entry requirements - so they're referred to as separate unis that are linked. Like I remember reading that at King's College London, you could go do a module or two at another uni in the "University of London" group if the timetables were nice.

I'm going to "Imperial College London" which USED to be a college in the "University of London" group before they left in 2007.

Are you confusing him with Ginjou?

So far, Senjumaru is my favorite of Royal Guards. But Tenjiro is a close second. I hope we'll get to see at least the shikai of every member of the Royal Guard before the arc is over.

I wonder where he went. He was just there before too =|

Spoiler:

I hope not Or well. Seems like the Sternritters don't have Vollstandig armor, unlike the shinigami's plotkai armor.
Elite 4. Lol.

I was hoping for X-Ray. Ah well.
Though Mangapanda had a different translation: Exorcist for X and Conversory (whatever it means) for C.

That N is going to be some last resort arsepull Emperor Zangetsu will have. I'd assume.
Ooor he could be in SS eating cookies.

Ah, cool. See, we also have all that different names like matriculation and institute and college and university and whatnot. They all refer to tertiary education, so I just jumble them up. XD

Typical Kubo. Teases a plotkai once briefly, and then probably never touches it again, except to just pull it out of his *** like a rabbit out of a top hat.

Spoiler:- Manga 599:

Wow, the next chapter will be 600!

Yhwach pulls out more secret weapons to do his dirty work.
I think he might have more tricks up his sleeve than Aizen did...
I'd like to see how Kubo relates their powers to these names. *rolls eyes*
Also, more guns? A big sniper rifle seems so impractical among a bunch of supernatural entities with superhuman speed.

Also, Yhwach is such a dumb name!
Why could the English translation have just been Juhabach?
At least then anyone would know how to properly pronounce the name.

Spoiler:

As stated in Chapter 565 "God Like You," his name is YWHW (pronounced Yahweh) which is apparently the true name of God, according to Judaism. I was given to Yhwach due to his ability to give out fragments of his soul whoch gave people what they lacked. The name is obviously meant to reference just how god-like this power is. In typical fashion, making YWHW pronouncable for the Japanese language, a bit of change gas to made leading to the corrupted Yhwach (pronounced like you-walk) for both easyness to say and resemblence to the source word.

It makes perfect sense really.

Hey, you! Yeah, you! No, not you in front, you there who likes pokémon. Do you like the animé? Do you ever think you'd like to use pokémon and battle like they do in the show?

I'm not sure how I feel about Ouetsu beating everyone. It's kind of nice seeing strong characters, but if these are Yhwach's elite four... I was hoping they'd all be able to put a strong fight. Idk.

I like the idea of a blade so sharp you can't even sheathe it.

So the guy can't die? Mmkay

Haha yeah, it's a shame there aren't some set terms that are uniform across English speaking countries.

Theology and linguistics lesson with Kusa :3

Mangapanda's translation made no sense >.>
It's hard to set a lethal quantity, so we set a half-lethal quantity instead. The other translation was clearer (to kill half of the population).

Does he have to lick that blood? >.> I feel like we're still not getting enough explanation of Askin's ability here. Maybe he would have to have contact with the substance to modify the lethal dose. Or something. Otherwise... can't you just modify Nimaiya's oxygen lethal dose or something? That's be way quicker. With no escape route.

I didn't know he was a doctor in his previous life or whatever. >.>

Oh well. Anyway. Pretty much nothing happened? I'm kind of having a split feeling for this. I want to see the other guards fighting too, but I think the main one who will be fighting would be Nimaiya, mostly. With the other guards giving off support. Kind of nice in a way how they work together as a unit. But still.

Seemed a bit too quick for the "elite" Sternritters to have all died within one chapter or two, but I don't think they're going to make a comeback. Eh.

So... more weird perverted scene from Zombie girl >.>
I kind of like her wings though. It looks awesome.

And now we learn that the Sternritter who took out Shunsui's eye has a schrift of N.
And we learn that he's dead now.

Oooooh look the elites are back. I guess now we can really know what the "Miracle", "X-Axis" and "Compulsory" are capable of. Well, at the very least they're going Vollstandig now.
I _really_ hope all members of Squad 0 will be fighting... Not just Nimaiya.

Wonder what Hashwalth and Ishida are up to. Probably chilling around the hot spring with Kirinji.

So effectively no closure on the Seireitei side of things because everybody is getting Auswahlen'ed. And now Nimiya is just going to die, having effectively done nothing in the long run. That's great storytelling right there... not.

...is there anything on what Hashwalth and Kirinji were doing the whole time Nimiya was fighting? No? Okay then; that's entirely what I expected.

X-Axis ability is cool, and I like that it's a play on words for the Japanese pronunciation of the ability.

Also, yay. We finally get to see both Hyousube and Yhwach fight (Yhwach vs. Yamamoto didn't count as a fight because it wasn't him, and because he basically OHKO's Yama when he really showed up).

...also, hate the zombie ability because it makes it hard to tell who is really alive or dead, or if there's any hope of the zombies coming back.

So, mix of good and "I hate X", which is better than I can say for Naruto. Thank god that fuckfest is over >.>

Hi guys. I exist.

"I'm fighting because there's a battle to be fought, Archer. I'm fighting to win. That's all."

"Hm. Alright, Rin. You are indeed my ideal Master. There is no one else I could hope to serve."

Still having a mixed feeling of how the scene is progressing. Wants to see more of Oetsu's ability (shikai / bankai at least?). What does Kinpika do? And Senjumaru surely can do more than just sew >.> But Hyousube is joining the fight so it should be good. His large brush reminds me of NL. I wonder if he controls 5 elements. Would be funny if he does.

The whole chapter just felt like "you thought you could beat me? But I have this!" Back and forth, like a tennis match. I wouldn't mind watching that animated though, would be nice and dramatic with the music and stuff.

Aww yea, Shikai.

Things have taken a turn.... again? >.> I guess it's too early for Juha to lose anyway, but still. Ichibei's shikai and bankai is fun and all that, but eh. I guess his prime time is over. Had some fun Kido in there too so I'm not complaining much. Would look pretty cool animated too.

Well now, I really enjoyed reading the last few chapters. Ichibei's pretty awesome and love his ability to erase names.
Still waiting for Kurosaki-kun to pop up before it gets boring..
Ychwach looks like a retard with those eyes. I guessed Kubo tried to make it cool, but ultimately failed.
Getting a bit dragged on right about now.
